Update on the Palatka discography. We received all of the vinyl, covers and inserts and the basic record package will start shipping next week. As it will take a couple weeks for me to pack up and deliver close to 150 individual packages, please be patient.
The 100 or so T-shirt orders will start shipping right around the new year as that is when the wonderful folks at Aesthetic Print & Design, Inc. expect to be finishing up the shirts. We hope to be able to ship the Craft Project Special about the same time as the shirts but we still have to cut and screen the covers. I promise those that picked the Craft Project option up, these will be very cool and worth the wait.

Palatka "We Were Right" is now streaming. You can now create a playlist with all the jams such as a Palatka/Joe Rogan Experience/Jason Aldean greatest hits.

Artist · 13 monthly listeners.

Got a bunch of folks asking about the t-shirts and worried because the Craft Project Special is only going to have a handful of copies.

We are going to put up an option for a shirt x record bundle for the black vinyl version of the 2 x 12". This will be $45.

Stuff will go live at 6 PM EST.

Here is another graphic from the craft project:

The Palatka discography will go up this Monday. It is titled "We Were Right".

62 tracks.

We will be pressing 300 of the 2 x 12". It will be in a nice gatefold cover with two inserts. There will be 4 vinyl color variants:

1. 175 on black vinyl available through the Belladonna webpage and Bandcamp. $30
2. 50 (40 for sale) on clear vinyl available through Bis Aufs Messer record store in Germany for Euro orders. There will be a link to the pre-order for these on both the Belladonna site and the Bis Auf Messer web-store.
3. 40 (30 for sale) on clear w/red splatter vinyl available from toneVENDOR Records in St. Augustine, Florida. This will be available on their web store.
4. 35 (25 for sale) on clear w/multi-color splatter. This is the "Craft Project" special. It comes with a Palatka t-shirt, a hand cut and screen printed "envelope" style cover, similar to the old Stumptown Press "Arigato Pak" 12" record sleeves and a screen printed poster. Will also include the standard gatefold cover and inserts. The t-shirt will only be available through the "Craft Project" special. These will be available on the Belladonna website as well as Bandcamp. $55

Vinyl will be a few dollars more expensive through Bandcamp as the service has increased their fees substantially. Please buy it through the label site. All purchases through the website will include a download/streaming code for Bandcamp. The discography will be available on all streaming services in the next few days or so.

The actual cost of this first press, not including the "Craft Project" special was about $23.

We plan on doing a repress with different vinyl color variants if this one sells out.

This was a labor of love for everyone involved and it took forever, mostly because of me and because, well, there are 62 songs, taken from 8 DAT's with multiple versions of many of the songs spread across all of the DATs. This is all possible because Kurt was always really well organized...... He kept all of the DATs and made sure that we got them back if we sent them off or had copies which was generally rare for punk bands to do back then.
